Just wondering, Whats the deal on IVI brass?

[rci2950]

I am just curious. Why is it forbidden on the equipment exchange? Is it bad stuff? Are we not allowed to have it? I was about to post an ad looking for a small amount of 7.62 nato IVI brass for making dummy rounds. Will that get me in trouble? Am i understanding correctly?

Thanks

I had lots bought from DCRA civilian matches for $1 a box of 20 live rounds. Forbidden fruit for me to resell now but, I'm OK with having a good supply of quality brass.

To be clear: nothing for sale, sorry.

I just got clarification on another forum. It was explained that it is still crown property and is supposed to be shredded or crushed before being sold. There are a few companies allowed to buy it unmolested and they are the only ones allowed to sell it.

So now we know. /thread

I believe it is a number of IVI brass that was being sold by individuals was stolen in that it was still Canadian Forces property and illegally acquired. I do believe it is sold legally to certain distributors/vendors after it becomes "salvage" which is why it's a chargeable offence for soldiers to keep empty casings or ammunition.

If someone wants a buttload of IVI 556 and LC 762, just be at EOSC at the same time I am, I don't collect or keep my brass, it usually goes in the brass barrel.

Edit: I purchased all my IVI rounds from a store! I'm WAY too lazy to steal, and then reload all that lol.
